Booking Through Thursday: Presents

What, if any, memorable or special book have you ever gotten as a present? Birthday or otherwise. What made it so notable? The person who gave it? The book itself? The “gift aura?”

Presents!!! Weeeee!!! Actually I don't get a ton of books for presents. I buy them for myself as presents but that doesn't count! In the past I'd ask for books for my birthday and such and my mom would get them for me (sometimes) but besides that most people assume I have everything and wouldn't even know what to get me!

I do have one friend (waves, are you reading this?) who gets me pretty sweet books for presents and I try and do the same for her! One of the books she got me is called Dear New Girl or Whatever Your Name Is, is a book illustrating (by multiple artists) of notes found in Los Angeles schools from 1999-2002. This book is amazing and hilarious and really weird! And it popped up in my mailbox at a great time! I needed a cheering up!

I think any sort of gift is special when it's from someone you care about! I love trying to find the perfect gift for someone but when I'm stumped I usually end up getting a gift card, some people are so hard to shop for!
